Liberalising agriculture The Finance Minister has announced that important liberalisation on domestic trade and storage of food will be done. I have an article in the Business Standard today, Economic freedom in agriculture, which focuses on the decisions in the real economy in agriculture, and the four elements which shape those decisions (warehousing, futures trading, domestic trade, international trade). While the domestic trade problem is a legal puzzle, there are pathways for the Parliament to make progress, drawing upon Article 301 of the Constitution.
